LETTER TO THE EDITOR
May 5, 2013
Hi,
My father had a “baby blue” (Breton Blue – Code 20) ‘59 Coupe de Ville. I am now building a
model to commemorate that car. One of the steps is making custom decals - which are printed
on special paper for that purpose. My father was a manager for State Farm Insurance and I
recall that he had a State Farm bumper sticker on each of his vehicles, including the Caddie.
I have gotten much of the needed detail from online pictures but I still need to document the
moulding on the sides as I will have to hand craft this 1/25 scale. I am from Colorado visiting
the DC area for a few days – leaving Wednesday, May 15, 2013. Do you know of anyone who
has one locally that I could look over and photograph?
Thanks,
Stephen & Beatrice Szadokierski
Golden, Colorado
[Editor’s note: We were able to connect Stephen with region member Randy Edison, who owns
a 1959 Coupe de Ville. Stephen was able to get the pictures that he needed to move forward
with his tribute to his dad. Below are pictures of his work to date. To see a picture of Randy’s
Coupe de Ville as well as a Breton Blue 1959 Cadillac, see page 10.]

“Super Fly” cars appearing in AACA Museum pop culture exhibit
Likely appearing at an AACA event for the
very first time, the Dunham Coach
“Corvorado” – as featured in the films Live
and Let Die and Superman: The Movie –
and the Dunham Coach “Super Fly” Cadillac
Eldorado – as seen in Ft. Apache the
Bronx – aren’t typical AACA fare, but both
played a significant role in 1970s pop
culture.
The Les Dunham Corvorado

The AACA’s Pop Culture and Cars exhibit
features far more than just Dunham’s
“Super Fly” creations. Other cars to be shown include the 1932 Ford Roadster driven by 1950s
icon Ricky Nelson, the 1978 Pontiac Trans-Am Y-84 presented to Burt Reynolds after filming
Smokey and the Bandit, a 1977 Chrysler Cordoba (complete with “soft Corinthian leather,” as
advertised by Ricardo Montalban) and much more. The exhibit will run from May 17th through
October 13th. For more information, visit www.aacamuseum.org.

meeting to date. The Region’s income was $ $2,190.51. The total expenses for the same time

MEMBERSHIP REPORT: Our current 2013 membership total is 197 members. Based on
archived files that were provided by Bryce Frey, our Region’s first secretary, the late Steven
Sisson, our Region’s first director, and others, we were able to trace, as best as we could, each
Potomac Region member’s and/or their spouse’s, significant other’s or father’s initial year of
joining the region. With this information, we will establish a Membership Recognition program to
celebrate members’ length of membership in increments of five-years with the Region as part of
our 45th Anniversary celebrations in 2014. Each member will have the opportunity to review the
year listed for them and provide an update to assist us in establishing the baseline information.
ACTIVITIES REPORT: The following activities were discussed:

22ND ANNUAL CAPITOL CADILLAC / CLC POTOMAC REGION
SPRING CAR SHOW AND AUTOMOBILIA AUCTION
STORY BY VINCE TALIANO
PHOTOS BY RITA BIAL-BOXLEY, JACK BROWNELL, BOB CRIMMINS,
RANDY EDISON, DAN RUBY, VINCE TALIANO AND MICHAEL VEILLEUX
Despite a weather forecast for sunny skies and mild temperatures, Sunday May 5, 2013 began
as a cloudy day with a mild threat of rain. The clouds finally parted and bright sunshine took
their place by Sunday afternoon. By that time, 58 Cadillacs had filled the showroom, the service
lane and the spacious parking lot of Capitol Cadillac, including six 1941 Cadillacs. There are
more 1941 Cadillacs listed in the CLC International Directory than any other model year, and our
show was a representation of that fact. Cars represented the states of Maryland, Virginia, and
the District of Columbia. While the morning weather undoubtedly reduced the number of cars
present, no one could have hoped for a more outstanding variety of cars, including rare models
and cars of extraordinary quality.

DJ Mikey Veilleux of Music Madness
officially opened the show at 10:00
AM with the playing of our National
Anthem. For the first time,
Red, Hot & Blue was on-site to
provide lunch to our attendees and
spectators. By all accounts, they
were a big hit as they ran out of
most items, including their famous
potato salad based on an old family
recipe. We look forward to having
them back at our fall show.
The six 1941 Cadillacs on display was definitely something special to see. The model year was
represented by a Eureka Carved Side Hearse displayed by Jay Donaldson; a wooden-bodied
station-wagon with coachwork by Bohman & Schwartz, belonging to Daniel Jobe, the President
of Capitol Cadillac; two Series 75 sedans owned by Prime Tour & Travels and James Spina,
respectively; a Series 60 Special driven by George & Rita Boxley and last but not least, a Series
62 sedan brought by Prime Tour & Travels.

Potomac Region
Caddie Chronicle

The next most represented model years at the show were 1959 and 1978 with four cars each.
The 1959 model year was represented by two Series 62 convertibles, a red one owned by Bob
Brown and a blue one owned by Rick Menz, and two Coupe deVilles, a blue one owned by Randy
Edison and a red one owned by Samuel Turner.
A unique characteristic of Potomac Region's Spring
Shows is the Automobilia Auction, in which items
donated by members and friends of the Region are
auctioned for the region's benefit. We had a
bumper crop of auction items, including sales
literature, books, scale model cars and parts.
Thanks to the expert auctioneering services of
Derrick Fisher (pictured left with white hat) and the
other volunteers, the auction raised $1,065 for the
Potomac Region. Donations were made by Rick
Menz –'57-'59 Cadillac Parts, Richard Sills –
Magazines and Publications, Vince Taliano –
Various, Dan Ruby – Various, Mary Lightbown –
Various, Margo Sisson – Various, Roger Bentley –
Magazines and Publications, Frank Lindberg –
Magazines and Publications, Scot Minesinger – Cadillac Climate Control Evaluation and others
who brought items and dropped them off prior to the start of the auction. Thanks to the donors.

In addition to the auction
items, attendees also had
the opportunity to
purchase vintage jewelry
and vintage women's
accessories just in time
for Mother’s Day. Shelley
Chadick and Dora Forry,
pictured left to right,
managed the merchandise
tables in the showroom
that also included club
items such as Cadillac
pens and region grille
badges. Dora also
presented the Ladies'
Choice award donated by
Brenda & Jim George,
which reflected the
selection of the ladies
among the registered car
owners. This year’s
winner was Jack Lowry for his 1948 Series 75 Formal Derham sedan (pictured below left) that he
drove from Phoenix, MD, a northern suburb of Baltimore.

The 50/50 drawing produced $300 for the Region and a like amount for the winner, Jim Govoni,
who donated half of his winnings back to the club. Thanks to Scot Minesinger for selling the
50/50 tickets and to Jim for his generosity.
Following the Potomac Region’s current practice, the judging was done by the owners of the cars
registered in the show (peer judging), except for the Dealer’s Choice Award. Throughout the
day, many of the owners could be seen walking among the cars with their pencils and ballots in
hand. When the deadline for voting was reached, over 70% of the attendees eligible to vote had
submitted a ballot. Richard Sills did another masterful job of announcing the winners while
Daniel Jobe distributed the awards and congratulated the winners. Below are pictures of a few
of the winners. Full list of winners appears on the next two pages.

CINCO DE MAYO LADIES LUNCH AT 22ND ANNUAL SPRING CAR SHOW
STORY BY RITA BIAL-BOXLEY
PHOTO BY DEBBIE TAYLOR
Hola, Cinco De Mayo!
The Ladies First Annual Car Show Luncheon was held at
the TGIF Restaurant next to Capitol Cadillac on May 5th.
The Potomac Region’s Membership Director, Debbie
Taylor had this great original idea for the ladies of the
club. This was a welcome alternative and a chance for
the ladies to get together after the preliminary club
activities and duties were done. It was also great to talk
about something other than cars.
Although the weather at first was cloudy and crisp in the
earlier part of the day, the sun broke through as we
headed over to the restaurant, and we decided it was a
good omen for great times to come. Debbie had our
reserved table spread out with hats, beads, noise
makers, and jewelry. This was a terrific idea for such a
festive occasion.
I am confident that this pleasant alternative will be a
continuing tradition. Cinco De Mayo is not only a May
day celebration, but we think a good theme to start out
our spring car show. Maybe in the future we can
continue with theme based luncheons for car club ladies.
Until the next time,
Rita

CAR SHOW REWARDS?
STORY & PHOTOS BY NICK FERRANTINO
A lot of antique and classic car owners enter
car shows expecting or hoping to take home
an award for the efforts to keep their cars in
the best shape they can. When I take my
young 1993 Cadillac Allanté to car shows, I do
so, not so much for an award, but for the
rewards of seeing people’s faces when they
learn that this car was driven by two-time
Indy 500 winner, Al Unser Jr., at the 76th
Indy 500 in 1992 to start the event. It was
his first Indy 500 win. Also, Bobby Unser, his
uncle, and likewise an Indy 500 winner, was
Cadillac’s spokesperson for Allanté that year
and drove a 1993 Allanté Pace car at that
race. Al Unser, Jr., also drove this Allanté two
weeks after the Indy 500 to the opening of the
new Belle Isle Raceway track in Detroit,
Michigan, to start the XI Detroit Grand Prix.
L to R: Lil’ Al Unser 1992, Nick Ferrantino and
Al Unser, Jr. 2013
For the past two years I have taken this all
original 1993 Allanté Pace/ Parade car to the
huge Keels & Wheels Concours D’Elegance at
the Lakewood Yacht Club in Seabrook, Texas,
to show. In 2012 Bobby Unser was Grand
Marshall of the event, and my reward was
having him sign the dashboard just above the
glove box of this Allanté.
Now in 2013, the Grand Marshall of the event was none other than Al Unser, Jr., and this year’s
reward was having him sign his name to the dashboard next to where his uncle signed his name.
Both Unsers did me a great honor by doing so. Al Unser, Jr. signing the dashboard is far more
rewarding than any award. Every time I sit in the driver’s seat I can look over at those two
autographs and remember the honor of meeting and speaking to both Al Unser, Jr., and his
uncle, Bobby Unser, both legends, not only at the Brickyard track, but of race car fame
nationally and internationally.
Another reward was that by speaking with both Bobby Unser and Al Unser, Jr. the mystery of
the third 1993 Allanté Pace car that was at the Indy 500 has now been solved. One 1993
Allanté Pace car is at the Indy 500 Museum in Indiana, one is at the Petersen Museum in
California, and the third is being stored in a warehouse in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was
given to Al Unser, Jr., after winning the history-filled 76th Indy 500. It is the rewards of finding
out historical facts like this that makes the reward far outweigh any award I might have gotten.

RE-DISCOVER AMERICA CARAVAN 2013
STORY & PHOTOS BY ALIDA, BYRON AND TOM ALSOP
Starting in New York and
ending in San Francisco, the
2013 Re-Discover America
CARavan was a once-in-a
lifetime opportunity to see
great Classic Era Cars as they
drove across the nation May
4-26. The CARavan travelled
through thirteen states, nine
cities and many small towns
and villages along the way.
This event commemorated
the 60th Anniversary of the
first CCCA CARavan and
followed many parts of the
Lincoln Highway, which is
celebrating its 100th
Anniversary this year.
After 3,900 miles on the Lincoln Highway, we arrived in Tiburon, CA in our 1936 Cadillac V-12
Series 85 convertible sedan. Three weeks of repairs kept the car going thru the elements,
terrain and altitude. We ran out of spare tires and managed to correct an overheating problem
with a large bottle of vinegar. The valves and brakes had to be adjusted periodically. We drove
without a gas gauge and wipers for most of the trip. Would you believe that after arriving at our
final destination in Tiburon, CA and taking the luggage to our rooms, the car would not start?
The voltage regulator was over charging and fried the battery. We had a back up in the trunk
and started it after; you guessed it, more wrenching. A special congratulations needs to be
extended to Pete Sanders, as his outstanding workmanship became evident on this trip. Pete
builds one darn rugged car. By the end of the journey, we were exhausted, but felt a
tremendous sense of accomplishment.
